Configuring Line Interfaces on the SPA9000

STEP 6 To verify the registration state, perform the following tasks:

•After the devices reboot, Click Voice tab > Info. Scroll down to the Line Status section for the line that you configured (Line 1 Status... Line 4 Status). Verify that the line is registered. If the line is not registered, you may need to refresh the browser several times because it can take a few seconds for the registration to succeed.

•Use an external phone to place an inbound call to the telephone number that was assigned by your ITSP. Assuming that you have left the default settings in place, the Auto Attendant answers the call. You can then dial an extension number to verify that the call rings to the station.

Configuring a Line Interface for a SPA400 (PSTN or Voice

Mail)

You can configure a line interface to register the SPA9000 to a SPA400 for PSTN access or voice mail service. To enable the interoperation of the SPA9000 and the SPA400, you need to enter corresponding information on the SPA9000 Voice > Line page and on the SPA400 Setup > SPA9000 Interface page. For voice mail service, also configure the SPA400 Setup > Voicemail Server page.

Before you configure a line interface, be aware of the following factors:

•The SPA9000 registers to the SPA400. Therefore, the SPA400 must be connected and available when the SPA9000 attempts to register to it.

•If you have not yet set a static IP address for the SPA400, you will need to know the DHCP-obtained IP address. Review the DHCP client list on the router.

NOTE Important: For optimum Voice Mail performance, a SPA400 should be dedicated to the Voice Mail application when either of the following conditions is met:

1)More than 2 FXO connections are required —OR—

2)More than 2 users commonly access voice mail at the same time.
